Birthdate

The two refs have different DoB's, 1996 and 30 September 1993. The article currently has 1 January 1996 (which is possibly a default date where only the year was known). Can anyone shed any light on this? Nzd (talk) 08:04, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

@Nzd: The 30 September 1993 date appears to be the birth date of Mohamed El Shamy (different person with the same name), although you could be correct in noting that the 1 January date could be a default date. Clyde1998 (talk) 05:30, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks @Clyde1998, I see that the FilGoal ref is now showing 01/01/1996 (they've changed it since I posted originally) so both agree on 1996. IMO, the 1 January date should probably be removed as we can only be sure of the year. Nzd (talk) 13:13, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
